Prince Harry has agreed to settle his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's British tabloids. The deal ends a years' long battle to hold the newspapers accountable for invasions of privacy.
A trial begins Tuesday over complaints filed by Prince Harry and a senior British lawmaker against Rupert Murdoch's tabloid newspapers. The trial carries high stakes on both sides of the Atlantic.
For the first time, the media titan was accused in court of knowing about a massive British tabloid-hacking scandal and helping to cover it up. The new leader of The Washington Post was named too.
Lawyers for Prince Harry and Hugh Grant have alleged in court that The Washington Post's next CEO helped the Murdochs clean up after illegal phone-hacking incidents at their British tabloids.
Prince Harry took the stand on Tuesday. He accused British tabloids of hounding him, hacking his phone, trying to bribe his friends — and inadvertently leading to his mother's 1997 death.
Prince Harry is doing something British royals have rarely done before: He's going to court. The Duke of Sussex is set to testify this week in a phone-hacking trial against British tabloids.
"This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers," the spokesperson said.
A spokesperson for Prince Harry and his wife Meghan says the couple were followed by photographers in cars in New York. The couple's office says the pair and Meghan's mother were followed by vehicles after leaving a charity event on Tuesday.
Prince William received a large payout in 2020 from Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper arm in an alleged phone hacking case, according to court documents made public Tuesday.
The announcement ended speculation about whether Harry would be welcome after leveling charges of racism and media manipulation at the royal family. Meghan and their children will remain in the U.S.
In his first known trip to the United Kingdom since the Queen's funeral, Prince Harry attended a High Court hearing. The Duke of Sussex is one of six people suing a publisher for privacy violations.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan announced that their daughter had been christened in a private ceremony in California, publicly calling her Princess Lilibet Diana.
Prince Harry spoke to British and U.S. television to promote his book, "Spare," which has generated incendiary headlines with its details of private emotional turmoil and bitter family resentments.
Even critics in the liberal media panned Harry & Meghan, the new documentary that attacks Britain's notorious tabloids for invading the couple's privacy and coverage that traded in racist tropes.
